    “I came to the Espaillat Institute on the recommendation of a friend. And although I was surprised by how technologically advanced this medical space is, what filled me the most was the way in which each person on the team treats their patients. From the person who greets you at the door, to Dr. Espaillat himself, they make you feel important.

    "About half a year ago, I began to feel that my right eye had a cataract. Dr. Espaillat performed the surgery on me approximately four months ago and it has been a great experience. Really when you arrive at the Institute you feel that in every exam, at every moment "They are professionals who take care of you and take you every step of the way."

    I was referred to “The Instituto Espaillat Cabral “in Santo Domingo in 2018,to do an operation on my right eye. The operation was very successful. Dr. Arnaldo Espaillat did a fantastic job on my right eye. Before my operation, I could not read a book. Now I can read a book without reading glasses. I returned a second time for a check -up, which went very well also.

    My experience at the clinic was very positive. I was well received and all the workers were very pleasant and welcoming.
